Ive seen a fair amount of intrafamily conflict, and I’ve found that the thing most likely to make teenagers fly into a rage — jumping out of their chairs, storming across the room, eyes flashing, fists clenched, shouting — is when their parents weigh in with their pet theories on things about which they are not as…

I’m really tired, so I don’t want to type out a big manifesto, but here’s the short version of what’s going on with me: I live in a red state, made some choices for my sanity to step back from toxic/just not working anymore friendships post-election but that’s been really hard, I’ve had bronchitis for the past two…
Relax a little, you can’t help anyone else if you can’t help yourself. Even Jesus took a vacation once in a while. (Not snark, just saying don’t burn yourself out.)
Thank you Canadian friends. :)
Hey loves. I’ve been gung ho activist monster from hell since last Wednesday night. Donating, organizing, protesting... I organized a meetup for the women in my area marching and we’re getting together tomorrow. I’ve signed on to do more mentoring with low income/opportunity kids, I joined the board of my company’s…
All of my friends are in relationships and have babies. I have a big gaping hole in my future. I miss my ex. I’m probably too old to be able to have children at this point. All my attempts at dating these past few months have been disasters. I signed up for a new dating site this week but couldn’t even finish my…
I once had someone yell offensive stuff at me from their car late at night, and then I watched them drive another block up the street, park their car, and walk away. So I went home, got a hammer, and bashed their taillights in.
Thank you, our lovely upstairs neighbors. This really warmed my cold, dead heart.
I passed a beat up Ford Ranger earlier today that had a noose hanging from the rear view mirror and a huge confederate flag across the entire back window. I fucking hate this town, I hate this country, I hate this world. And if I see one more goddamn conservative boohooing about how CRASS and RUDE it was for the…
GUYS. I had to talk to people about white supremacists today and how even if we suspect someone is one, we still have to let them into the facility due to inclusive policies. And It’s only when a visitor does something that’s verbal or physical harassment can we ask them to leave.
Americans: There was a big anti-Trump rally in Toronto, Canada today. Started at City Hall and with a police escort it made its way to Trump Tower - the same Trump Tower that was/is at the centre of lawsuits against Trump by some its unit owners, also the same Trump Tower that had pieces of it falling onto the ground…
The question is not where we are, but when.
Gansel Awlgurt is the one who we are only aware of because his dad was somebody with powerful social connections, and rich.
I saw a white man in public apologizing to and hugging everyone he encountered. I thought he was a sex offender. It wasn’t until later that i realized that it probably had something to do with the election. This week has veered away from rationality.
Glenn Beck? That one has me feeling like I’m in the Twilight Zone for sure.
While true, it’s not really Trump and his policies that really scare me, it’s the hate crimes and violence that he’s inspired. It’s as if he radicalized the far right, assuming a lot of them weren’t already hateful extremists. We have to fear Trump’s fascist decisions and we have to fear our fellow citizens. Many of…
It absolutely makes sense. They probably think that Trump would be better for Russian than Hillary but I don’t think electing Trump is the endgame. It’s more about delegitimizing the United States President and the United States as a whole. So they make sure we elect a buffoon and are the laughing stock of the world…
Because vagina.
Not from any direct inside-track, just the insinuations of the better “real” intelligence talking heads/journalists that appear on the more cerebral news shows, like Rukmini Callimachi and Malcolm Nance.
